BOSTON — The Celtics are working on a multiyear deal with coach Doc Rivers that would bring him back for another run at an NBA title with Boston’s aging Big Three — and then keep him on the bench to work with the rebuilt roster that is expected to follow.
“Doc wants to be a Celtic and [president of basketball operations] Danny Ainge wants him to remain with the Celtics,” Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss told ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard on Thursday night. “Nothing is imminent. Nothing is going to happen today or tomorrow. But there has been progress made toward keeping Doc with the Celtics for a few more years.”
The value of the contract is believed to be more than $6 million per year, a source told ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher on Thursday night.
